We arrive in Florence

Duomo Florence

Ponte Vecchio

Our bus leaving Rome for Florence


Today we moved from Rome to Florence. The weather was cooler, and we checked into our hotel (hopefully the shower head will be taller than Brian this time) - wonderful place, with an old world feel, no hustle bustle. More small town european than Rome, which is great. We did our sightseeing - the Academie (with Michelangelo''s David), Duomo (the cathedral in Florence), Ufizzi Gallery (Botecelli's Venus and a exhibit on Leonardo DaVinci) and Ponte Vecchio bridge.
Tomorrow is a free day to explore and shop..........................

Hi Janet, Dan, Lee Anne, and students... I'm enjoying the "diary" of your exciting travels. I'm so envious of your activities and experiences! Enjoy and savor every moment. I suggest a "Ladies Night" upon your return so you can share your experiences and photos. Safe travels... --Beth
